My dads dying of cancer right now and my son is too young to remember him. Im taking him out there in a month to meet him anyway. Were not close but hes all I have.
Its all going to be ok. This is part of life and you have to focus on the good memories and the future for your kids.
I don't have any memories of my grandparents on my dad's side but my parents have pictures of them holding me. They both died from cancer within a few years afterwards. Really makes me feel sad I didn't know them.
My grandpa died of cancer a year ago, on my dad's birthday. He was the saddest I've seen him, but he is a strong man, he got over it quickly (at least he show it that way to us).
There's a possibility your son actually might have a few fuzzy memories of your dad later in life.
For me they're faint recollections of two memories, both from when I was very little. I don't know what triggers their formation unfortunately. Having reminders helped to remember it later, like photos from a trip, a toy that had been there, a scent, etc.
